Wichita’s average airfare drops 7 percent from last year

It’s a little bit cheaper to fly out of Wichita Eisenhower National Airport now than it was a year ago, according to a federal report.

The Department of Transportation said the average, inflation-adjusted fare out of Wichita was $381.39 in the second quarter of 2016. That’s down about 7 percent from $404.20 in the same period last year, according to the report.

Wichita’s average fare was higher than Kansas City’s, but lower than the average, inflation-adjusted fare in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
